Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Hell no, I like my truck and want it to last. I would never put 35’s on the stock drivetrain...I am however keeping the 32’s and doing 4.88’s

But I still want to know if he likes em...

 

I love them but the truck on stock gears with stock software was an absolute Turd. The OVTune software seems to have really helped but I would love to see some specific shift points turning heavy a$$ 33's even with the 4.88's


Edit: I forgot to add that I am also going to be towing a small camp trailer with this truck (2800-4000 lbs).

 

Oooh our new designed big mouth dump tubes

 

Don't know what these are for but...

 

It will solve our slow tacoma issue.

 

Where does that go and what part does that replace?

 

The exhaust, off of the head, probably...

 

Yep, the "headers" on this engine.
Our first design didn't make much power over stock so we have redesigned them. Much better this time

 

For turbo, right?

 

How much increase to hp/tq are we talking about?

 

I'm going to assume NA application.

 

I just dropped my truck off for a windshield replacement and some other things at the dealer. They gave a 2018 Tacoma to drive. The stock tune is so awful. Dog ass slow. I didn't realize how awful it was until I hadn't driven stock for so long. Also wonder if I should have flashed back to stock after feeling that stock tip in. There is none. Truck doesn't want to even start moving. Hope they just think its odd for some reason.

 

Are these any good?

Will they sound nice on a stock exhaust? I see them mentioned in here so Im a little curious. Im not really looking for performance gains, im looking more of a little more sound if you know what I mean

 

Nice I was thinking about headers the other night. I used to drive an '06 IS350 and ppe engineering made some for the same engine and thought it'd be cool if they can design them for the truck. Looks like you got to it.

 

For non turbo trucks.
These are power mods for trucks that want to stay N/A.
Redesigned 3 times, they will finally be ready for sale in about 10 days.

First we tested the ones out there (U R D ones)
then we had our own made (design 1) - not good enough
Design 2 - better, not good enough
Design 3 - Best.

 

The important part of this new exhaust mod will be how much HP and TQ gain will be recognized vs. cost of parts.

 

How were the URD ones compared to design 3?

 

And finally, the answer to the recurring question of....... Will the Dealer Know ?

I'm assuming we will be able to see the dyno graphs showing the differences with a consistent baseline?

 

Will those exhaust pipes need a special revised tune?
